Definition of contravention

Definition: An act that goes against a legal condition or obligation. It can also refer to a minor violation of the law in French law.

Examples:

  • An heir breaking the rules of an inheritance agreement is committing a contravention.
  • In French law, a contravention can be something like a traffic violation or a minor offense.

The examples illustrate how a contravention can be a violation of a legal agreement or a minor offense. In both cases, the act goes against what is expected or required by law.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Simple Definition

Contravention: When someone does something that goes against a rule or law, it is called a contravention. This can be a small violation, like breaking a traffic law, or a bigger one, like going against the terms of an inheritance. In some places, contraventions are punished with fines or short periods of time in jail. In Scotland, it can also refer to a legal action taken against someone who breaks a peace bond.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
